The GAlactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH, [1]}) is
an ongoing spectroscopic survey whose ambitious goal is to unveil the
formation and history of the the Milky Way. This is the focus of the field
of Galactic Archaeology, which tries to determine how the fossil remnants of
star-forming regions and effects of ancient mergers paint the picture of our
Galaxy that we observe and measure today. This complex endeavor can be
accomplished by studying the detailed chemical composition and other
properties of stars in distinct regions of the Milky Way.
